Thanks ChrisH i relly appreciate it, i guess your right so that means there is no way of installing a software via batch files. I had a feeling it would be hard to do it using custom settings as you stated in your post "The way that all these packages may install will potentially all be different... Others may have switches on their setup... Other settings may have to be made by adding registry entries" but i thought there maybe a way to start a installation using default settings.

Thanks Localzuk for you comment, but i wanted to do it using a bacth file so that you can give it to anyone and all they have to do is login as a administrator and double click on the batch file and this will start the installation. Couple of my staff would really appreciate a batch file like this.

Thanks imy for your feedback, yeah just hoping someone could shed some light this could help me alot and other technicians.

Hi People, I hope you all are alright! I have found this website through google and i have just signed up. I was searching for batch files and i found a useful thread on this website regarding Batch Files which was started by Richard Mills (thanks for all your comments i found them useful). I work in a secondary school on Luton. I was wondering how would i write a batch file to automatically install a software e.g. for an example i want to login in a computer as a Network Administrator and i want to run a batch file which will automatically install Trendo Micro Hijack for me with default settings (where you don't have to click Next button, click i agree for terms and conditions and where you do not have to choose the location path where you want the software to be installed - i would like to use this for when installing Office 2007, Macromedia Package and other big packages): Please choose the path you would like hijack to be installed - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis Trend Micro End User License Agreement*- I agree On Windows XP And also is there a way to create a batch file where i can install a software with custom settings (instead of choosing the C Drive as the location path i could choose something else)? I looked all over the internet for these batch files and i cannot find them just want to know if anyone could help me, i would really appreciate this. Thanks all Regards, Ryan H
